    D-SUB cables

    I can find VGA cables on the shop site. Can't seem to find what I think are D-SUB cables. Modern cards don't have the VGA socket they have a D-SUB and my LCD has a D-SUB so I am looking for 3- 5 meter D-SUB to D-SUB cable

    Thanks

    D-Sub (15-pin) = VGA
    Unless you mean DVI?

    Not exactly sure what you're looking for. D-subminiature (or D-Sub) is just the technical term for standard VGA connector.

    This is D-sub or VGA cable



    The other popular connector for graphics cards is DVI. This what you're looking for?


    If so it's this: Prophecy.co.za - DVI-I TO DVI-I EXTENSION CABLE - 3M


    And just to confuse you even a bit more
    There are 6 different types of DVI connectors, but almost all the cards I've ever seen have the DVI-I Duel Link (like the image above). For more info check DVI Connector Types : The TFT Connection: Do NVIDIA and ATi Deliver?

    Thank you gentlemen. Its the DVI-I that I want. Where did I get D-SUB from. Who knows. Wish I could upgrade the old brain.

    Excellent Post Darkstar. You should take up a teaching career.

    Cheers
